Dear Anxiety,

I’ve dealt with your nonsense long enough. Every waking minute when I’m not actively doing
something, you fill my mind up with memories of miniscule things that served as road blocks in
my day. I’ve tried getting rid of you with Prozac, but all it did was fuel your fire and make you
fight back even harder than before. Well I’m here writing this to you as a warning. Your
shenanigans will come to an end today. I went and saw the Dr. Figment today and he told me
exactly what I need to do to stop your mischievous actions. First, I will no longer be taking
Prozac. From here on out, I shall be using seven drops of CBD oil under my tongue each day.
This will help stop your invasions into my brain when I am trying to sleep at night and you keep
me awake. Next, I will be exercising every day in order to distract my brain from your intrusive
thoughts that bring me down even when I’m sitting on top of the brightest rainbow. I will also be
increasing my visits with Dr. Figment from weekly to two visits per week. He will continue to give
me the strength to continue the battle for my happiness. He told me I should also be journaling
my feelings daily and analyzing what caused me to feel that certain way. In combining these
four things, you will be gone in three to four months. So this is the last time you will be hearing
from me. It’s been (not) fun while it lasted.
